net bags fashion trend

It’s official, citrus fruits in net bags are currently trending on the most popular fashion blogs

Published by

When life gives you lemons, grab a couple of limes and oranges and throw them in a net bag – you’ll be the hottest it-girl on the ‘gram. Laugh if you will, but this summer fashion trend isn’t going anywhere. Being in the fashion industry, I find myself browsing some of the best fashion blogs and magazines for inspiration on the daily. This phenomenon of fruit in fashion struck me as odd when I first spotted it budding as early as last fall. Since then, the trend has totally taken over Instagram feeds and fashion editorials alike. What’s defining the summer fashion trend So what is all of this sweet ruckus about? In a push for sustainable fashion, the net back (resembling cotton fishnet) has officially made it’s debut on the fashion scene. Found mostly in off-white as well as black and a few neutral colors, it is a small-footprint solution to toting around daily essentials (and apparently fruits). Pro tip, don’t try to tote around small or projecting items. My YSL logo bag constantly …

So excited to share one of my favorite blog partners, Farfetch, has made some big name markdowns, and I’ve put together some of my favorite designer picks for the season.

luxury winter fashion blogger

baby it’s cold outside, but at least we look good doin’ it

Published by

Confession of a fashionista, I hate winter. Not dislike, nor do I find it disagreeable. I loath it entirely. The cold, the snow, defrosting my car in the mornings, shoveling the sidewalk, winter fashion, wearing so many layers I feel like an over-stuffed burrito – no thank you. Though I was able to escape the first of the year on a tropical adventure to Bali, I still came home to a fair amount of the season’s harshest. Attempting a mental escape, I decided to have some fun with fashion, regardless of the relentless snow fall. My lifesaving piece, this xllullan winter coat. Think modern art splashed onto your childhood comforter – sewn into a luxury winter coat. It’s perfect. Just what I needed to save me from the worst of the season. The best part, it’s actually so warm, I was able to getaway with some more-than daring trends of the season. photography:KUNDAN KUMAR | camera:CANNON 5D MARK III | winter coat c/o:XLLULLAN | over the knee boots c/o:EGO OFFICIAL | criss cross bralette c/o:ADORE …

luxury holiday gift guide for her

Trying to get a head start on Christmas shopping? If you’re like me, it’s not going to happen. But there are a few perks of being a fashion blogger, and one of them is discovering some really incredible new brands with unique, luxury products that are make gifting during the holiday season a total breeze. Who new there were so many companies doing such amazing things! I remember before I started blogging, scrounging for last minute ideas on dozens of “holiday gift guides”, “gifts for her”, “luxury gift ideas” and more – only to be recommended some cheap office do-dads, some kind of zen sandbox-thing, and other equally bazaar gifts that any normal human being would never consider owning in real life. Now, I have the opportunity to try so many incredible products throughout the year, that by the time Christmas rolls around, I can hardly wait to grab doubles of my favorites for friends and family. Here is my “for her” luxury holiday gift guide 2017, with a few of my top picks for …

IRO skirt from ifchic

the essential front button skirt

Published by

Thought the button down essential skirt would disappear after summer? Think again. This fall 2017 trend isn’t going no where. Whether you play it smart with a pair of tights in the cold or risk it bare-legged during the sporadic warm-weather days – front button skirts aren’t backing down for a little chill. While summer fashion saw denim skirts in every shade, the way to play this trend through the fall season is by migrating to dark colors and warmer materials. This skirt by IRO was another find from ifchic, one of my favorite destinations for luxury fashion items. photography:KUNDAN KUMAR | camera:CANNON 5D MARK III | iro skirt c/0:IFCHIC Ifchic has supplied me with a few of my essential pieces like this Theory t-shirt and my high-waisted Rachel Comey jeans. This IRO skirt was no exception, and I look forward to continuing to rock it through the cold season – goosebumps or not. What’s great about this piece? The wooly material provides a bit of extra warmth for this leg-baring style, making it wearable through …

3 ways to pick your weekday casual in a New York minute

Published by

Relaxed, sophisticated style. That pretty much sums up the ideal wardrobe situation for a girl on the go. But it’s not always easy looking effortlessly chic when you need to be dressed and out the door in 10 minutes. Balancing a full-time career as a creative director and managing a fashion blog on the side can be a challenge – especially when you try to squeeze world travel into the mix. I’d say I’m pretty happy with the balance I’ve found so far, but I’d be lying if I said I walk out the door every day feeling great about the outfit I grabbed. I mean loose jeans and a raggedy sweater from ’09? What was I thinking. I often try to share tips on work life balance as I know many of you understand the struggle is real. Here are a couple tips I incorporate into an (almost) fool proof recipe for fast, wardrobe grabs when you need to get out the door in a hurry and look fab all at the same time. …

one last romp

Published by

Fall’s chill is setting in. You can feel it even on the sunny days, a ghost hovering between you and those familiar summer rays. But alas, so many ravishing rompers and so little time… so I’ve stretched the season for one last romp of flashing legs and bare shoulders before they’re tucked away ’til next year. The romper that couldn’t be tucked away just yet – a gift from my babes at Premonition. Remind me I need to write a proper review on them at some point. My closet is literally filled with their pieces, and they’re my first thought when looking for something that’s high fashion, reeks of good design, and yet somehow manages to be perfectly understandable and attainable to a general audience. They’re literally the Mecca for my occasion wear style. I wore a beaded dress from their new collection to WWDMagic (shhh… it’s not out yet) and I can’t tell you how many people inquired on the dress. Stay tuned and I’ll be sure to show you a glimpse of that …
